The way I see it is that there are a significant number of employers that do drug testing as part of their pre-employment screening and people receiving Unemployment Compensation are living off tax dollars paid by those companies as a cost of having employees. The least the people receiving those benefits could do is ensure that they won't be disqualified from taking a job because they can't pass a drug test.

Other : There should not be jobless benefits, all that does is subsidize more unemployment which is funded by theft from those who work

The current screen saver on the son-in-laws computer shows a hand holding a pee jar and says:

If I have to take a drug test to get the job that pays for your welfare, you should have to take one to get it.

I guess if we can't afford to pay jobless benefits, it comes down to a question of "who should be kicked off unemployment payments first?" Should it be drug abusers? Why not alcoholics? There are more of those. We could really save a lot of money.

Yep i think the cost offset would balance out if you were denied benefits due to a positive test. i have to test drug free for work they should have to be drug free to suckle at the go'bment teet.

This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-

absolutely, i also think after a certain point, to get further jobless benefits, we should put those people to work part time on public works projects, to be able to keep collecting.
